I'm with you, Hmama! For those of us who've never had a date in twenty years it's hard to even remember what it was like then let alone what you should do now! I have a lady at church who sits with me every bible study, seems interested in me and yet she said she'd bring me a DVD a week ago and didn't. My thought processes start clicking in "is she really interested in me?" "If I was interested in someone, even as a friend, I'd remember to bring something I said I would" "Is she just a self involved person and I shouldn't even consider her on any level " blah blah blah. Now, I'm not looking to date at this moment but I'm watching how women treat me trying to figure out what their actions mean. I dunno! I think because we've been so hurt we are hyper vigilant to anything that might indicate rejection but then, on the other hand, you don't want to set yourself up with someone who isn't that interested in the first place. How do you know? Others will have to weigh in on this as I'm fresh out of any useful advice!

It is maddening, isn't it?! not to mention undignified!
